Previous posts show how to "Retrieve IP and MAC addresses from /proc/net/arp" and "Lookup manufacturer/vendor info from MAC address". This post show how to get the Host Name of the connected clients.
It can be noted that if we call getCanonicalHostName() or getHostName() methods of the InetAddressobjects, it will return the IP address. If we call getLocalHost().getCanonicalHostName() or getLocalHost().getHostName() methods, it will return the host name, "localhost".
Also, if a devices disconnected, the file /proc/net/arp will not updated immediately. We can determine if it is still connected by calling inetAddress.isReachable(timeout). If false returned, means it is disconnected.
